One Blog-Tastic Week!!!

Last week was quite an eventful week in the Heiple house. It didn't start out so well for Olivia and Joseph, they had to go to the doctor and receive their flu shots...ow...and Joseph also received 6, count them, 6 vaccination shots...double ow! Once they got through that, the rest of the week was great!


Joseph got a clean bill of health. He is now about 12 lbs. and 24 1/2 inches long. He is officially out of all newborn and size 0 clothes, and is now wearing size 3/6 month! I can't believe how quickly he is growing! Some firsts for Joseph this week are learning to jump in his bouncy seat (which he LOVES) and starting to eat vegetables. So far his favs are sweet corn and sweet potatoes, anyone seeing a pattern forming? He is really gaining hand/eye coordination. Joseph loves to lay on his play mat and reach for Mr. Moose and pull him into his mouth. He also likes to bat at his lil chick on his bouncy seat. I absolutely love watching him discover new things!





Olivia is also growing by leaps and bounds. She is now officially in size 4T clothes at the age of 2. Where does she get that height...hum??? Olivia is extremely excited about Halloween coming up. Maybe this year she will be able to say "trick or treat." Last year it was pretty hit or miss and not comprehendable. This week at school she is having a Halloween party. She is just a little excited...she has only been asking us three times a day when she can go to school! Olivia's new tricks are doing a somersault all by herself, and learning how to cook pizza for daddy (she learned this skill at school when she made herself a pizza).


On Saturday, Olivia, Joseph, and I had a fun photo shoot day. Here are just a few of the pictures we took...I think I ended up taking about 100 pictures all together. I had some catching up to do :) Joseph needed his 6 month
photos and Olivia just needed some updated photos since she has changed so much!

Olie and Bella are just a crazy as ever. Bella has pretty much taken over the house despite being 75lbs. lighter than Olie. They get along VERY well and if they are not together, they often go searching for one another. Olie has taken on a new role in the household...babysitting. They often say dog is man's best friend,
but they are also man's best babysitter!

Well that is the news from last week. We hope this blog finds everyone well! We think about and pray for you daily!




The past week has been extremely hectic for Jas and I. At school we had Red Ribbon Week aka. Chaotic Week, and we had report cards go out . Jason has been working deligently on senior pictures, family photos, working, and oh yeah, has been taking care of two busy kids and two crazy dogs.
